Planning on watching Super Bowl 57? You’re not alone. More than 100 million viewers across the U.S. are expected to check out a portion of the NFL’s annual championship game tonight.
Some will be diehard Kansas City Chiefs fans, who will doubtlessly hold their breath every time Patrick Mahomes scampers out of the pocket on his balky ankle. Others will be lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fans, who will hoot and holler until their green face paint turns crimson red. And many more will tune in exclusively to make snide remarks during the halftime show. There truly is something for everyone!
Learn everything you need to know about the Big Game – including how to watch and stream it – below.

The Atlanta Falcons have won two of their last three and have a chance to increase their lead in the NFC South as they travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans as 2.5-point road favorites according to this week’s NFL odds.
The Titans were already one of the lowest-scoring offenses under Ryan Tannehill, and now will be throwing out Will Levis and Malik Willis to face one of the best defenses in football. Even out of the bye, it’s tough to be optimistic about the Tennessee offense in the Week 8 odds.
Here are my free NFL picks for Falcons vs. Titans on October 29.

This weekend’s Wild Card odds slate reaches its conclusion tonight when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — a surprising playoff pairing in the NFC.
Philadelphia seemed destined for at least the No. 2 seed in the conference as an early-season Super Bowl odds leader, but a late-season freefall has the Eagles lugging a 1-5 SU slump (0-6 ATS) into the postseason.
Tampa Bay, on the other hand, was able to do enough to secure the NFC South title and the home playoff game that comes with it, closing the regular season on a 5-1 SU streak (4-2 ATS). Despite the hot form, the NFL odds have the Buccaneers as home underdogs for this 8 p.m. ET kickoff.
I dissect the spread and betting total for Monday night’s Wild Card matchup and g…
Week 3 in the NFL finishes this evening with a pair of games on Monday Night Football, including a showdown between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills.
Although Jacksonville is 0-2 to start the year, my Jaguars vs. Bills predictions aren’t expecting the Jags to roll over. Read on to see why the Jags covering are among my best NFL picks for tonight’s clash.
Jaguars vs Bills MNF prediction
My best betJaguars +5.5 (-110 at FanDuel)
My analysisThis bet really comes down to two things: the long-term trend of 0-2 teams covering the spread as underdogs in Week 3 and the fact that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence isn’t as bad as he’s played so far this year.
Lawrence has completed just 51% o…
Failure to win against Greece in Wroclaw on Tuesday could spell the end of the Czech Republic s hopes at Euro 2012.
A 4-1 loss to Russia in their Group A opener was disastrous for the Czechs, as their defence was repeatedly torn apart by the likes of Alan Dzagoev and Andrey Arshavin.
But despite the heavy defeat, Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech believes his team can still qualify for the quarter-finals.
The first game sometimes shows what the group will be like but it s not the key one, Cech said.
The crucial game will be the second one (against Greece). If we fail in that one, our chances of advancing will be very thin.
A 4-1 defeat doesn t look the best but it s basically the same as 1-0 you simply get no points.
We lost a battle, not th…
Top 10 Contenders for The Golden Boot, Brazil 2014
#10. Name: Karim Benzema
Teams: Real Madrid France
2013/14 Goals: 27
Appearances: 57
Odds: Benzema to be World Cup top scorer
The Real striker hasn’t been at his best this season, but he’s still turned in a somewhat impressive 47% goal-to-game ratio in all competitions. With three goals from his last five internationals with Les Blues, Benzema has shown he’s still in good condition for the World Cup and could be a dark horse for the Golden Boot, with France boasting a very strong outfit this summer.
#9. Name: Diego Costa
Teams: Atletico Madrid Spain
2013/14 Goals: 36

Papiss Cisse opened the scoring in Newcastle s 2-1 win at Aston Villa
Last night’s Premier League games produced both enthralling action and goalless draws in equal measure.
In the big game at the bottom of the Premier League table Newcastle won 2-1 at rivals Aston Villa to move further clear of the relegation zone.
The visitors started the brighter and got their reward on 19 minutes. Midfielder Moussa Sissoko making his debut produced a sublime through ball for Papiss Cisse and the Senegal striker fired low past Brad Guzan in the Villa goal.
Villa grew into the game, but were two goals down on 31 minutes. French international midfielder Yohan Cabaye scored from 25 yards out with a fantastic half-volley. Villa came out like a different team in the seco…
While the likes of seven-time Ballon d Or winner Lionel Messi might have enjoyed a real World Cup romp in Qatar this year, there have been some notable heavyweight collapses in the Middle East.
With European giants Spain shockingly crashing out of the World Cup s first winter tournament following an infamous penalties defeat against Morocco, La Roja joins what has been a blockbuster list of early departures.
Joining the likes of Germany, Belgium and Uruguay who have headed home without making a knockout stage appearance, there have also been some superstar players who really failed to make any kind of impact on the world stage.
On a list that includes some of Europe s most notable and influential stars, we have taken a glance at a handful of heavyweight names wh…
Chelsea and Jose Mourinho reached a settlement with former team doctor Eva Carneiro over her claims that she was constructively dismissed by the club, and victimised by its former manager, on this day in 2016.
Carneiro had brought the claim at an employment tribunal, accusing Mourinho of victimisation and discrimination. She was due to begin giving evidence but after last-minute talks between the parties, a settlement was agreed.
Mourinho made a surprise appearance at the hearing at the London South Employment Tribunal centre in Croydon.
Addressing the tribunal, Daniel Stilitz QC, for Chelsea and Mourinho, said: “We are pleased to be able to tell the tribunal that the parties agreed a settlement on confidential terms.”
The case was expected to last se…
